CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES (DWR) NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF A DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (SEIR) for the proposed Tide's End Multibenefit Restoration Project (proposed Project) SCH#2024070944 The Tide's End Multibenefit Restoration Project (proposed Project) is being developed to restore and enhance tidal wetland and floodplain habitat, support multibenefit land uses (including managed wetlands and floodplain agriculture), and maintain or improve flood conveyance in the Yolo Bypass. Tidal inundation would be restored by hydrologically connecting the site to the Toe Drain via a series of berm openings, berm lowering, and channel excavation. The restored habitats would enhance aquatic production and export for food web support and would facilitate volitional fish passage of juvenile salmonids and other native fishes accessing the proposed Project area's floodplain during high-flow events. The proposed Project's restoration design elements include tidal wetland, transition zone habitat, floodplain habitat, managed wetlands, managed floodplain agriculture, site revegetation (including riparian communities), access improvements, as well as irrigation and drainage improvements. The Draft SEIR is available on CEQAnet (https://ceqanet.lci.ca.gov/), can be found through DWR's website: https://water.ca.gov/New/Public-Notices and is also available for review at the Department of Water Resources, 3500 Industrial Boulevard, West Sacramento, CA 95691.
